Venice Experimental Video And Performing Art Festival

I’m really happy that my work has been chosen and is showing at the Venice Experimental Video And Performing Art Festival at the Palazzo Bembo – Venice, Italy | 23rd April 2022.

The work on show is a video of my ‘Self-Portrait/ There’s someone In My Head…’ installation.

VENICE EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO AND PERFORMING ART FESTIVAL 2022 is focused on the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary time.

People, backgrounds, societies, progress, cities and all their inputs create hybrid identities, modifying each other and being mixed in prospect to shape a better world.

 

The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality: a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
After many years of research and exhibitions about the evolution of the idea of identity, we ask artists to share their personal tales through videos and performances, to create a link between their personal experience and the audience, to tell us which are the stories and reasons beneath their works.

Statement
‘Self Portrait/ There’s someone in My Head…’ is an investigation of the inner ‘self’ through a Jungian lens.

Phillips McLaren has hand-crafted four effigies representing Jung’s four main archetypes, which, when combined, represent the whole ‘Self’.

Each video-sculpture characterises separate aspects of his identity, performing independently but at the same time, collectively creating a single self-portrait in a three-dimensional environment.

These performances range in delivery and dialogue and are designed to engage the viewer on multiple levels.
